58. Suspension or cancellation of award

If it appears to a Court that a number of members of a trade union sufficiently large to form a substantial part of its membership refuse to accept employment in accordance with an award, the Court may, subject to such conditions as it thinks fit, by order cancel or suspend for such period as it thinks fit all or any of the terms of the award so far as the award applies to or is in favour of the trade union or its members.

If it appears to a Court that a number of members of a platform work association sufficiently large to form a substantial part of its membership refuse to provide a platform service in accordance with an award, the Court may, subject to such conditions as it thinks fit, by order cancel or suspend for such period as it thinks fit all or any of the terms of the award so far as the award applies to or is in favour of the platform work association or its members.

The suspension or cancellation of the award may be limited to specified persons or classes of persons or to a specified branch of the trade union or platform work association (as the case may be) or to specified localities.

During the period of suspension of an award, a person affected as a present or past member of the trade union or platform work association (as the case may be) by the suspension shall not be entitled to the benefit of any other award.
